Dental Implant Restoration

Dental Implant Restoration

Dental implant restoration refers to the process of attaching the final crown to a healed implant or replacing an existing implant crown. At Fairmont Dentistry, we provide comprehensive implant restoration services to help you achieve a natural and fully functional smile.

What is Implant Restoration?

Implant restoration is the stage where the visible portion of your implant is completed. Once the implant post has integrated with the jawbone, an abutment is placed and a custom crown is designed. This crown looks and feels like a natural tooth and restores your ability to chew and smile comfortably.
